I'm in, though this will be my first time out on the UJ. I talked to Gabe and he said it wouldn't be anything too crazy, I just wanted to head out on the river with someone who knew where they were going.

As of now I don't have a helmet, should I pick one up before tomorrow? And please let me know if there is anything else I need to know since I'm just starting out. I have a decent roll down in flatwater/pools and have paddled a bit of the New River down by Blacksburg, VA.

Hi Brian, we'll be happy to show the way. This will be a good water level for a first run. You should definitely have some kind of helmet though - you never know, and rocks are hard. See you tomorrow.

Woops, I thought you had a helmet allready! I called Appomatox River Company and they are delivering some Shred Ready helemts to their Midlothian store in town tomorrow:

I use a WRSI Currant with vents

I wouldnt reccomend going down the upper at 6' in a kayak without a helmet. If you roll either for practice or inadvertantly you are going to be hanging upside down and bonk your head on rocks!

Talked to Appomattox as well and will be stopping by before meeting up with you all. Thanks for the help!
